HD 223041 is a common star. It lies about 2,416 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Phe, shines at apparent magnitude 10.32 and has spectral type F6IV/V.
Its spectrum reads F6IV/V — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HD 223041 in the constellation Phe. At apparent magnitude 10.32, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HD 223041 is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
HD 223041 scores 17 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Yellow-white F-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
